Since it mentioned, I thought it should be seen. Bernie and Abrihet's wedding cake is the fourth row down; three-tier cake with separate top.

I really am starting to think I should be writing in another genra. The fight scene turned out well. Other fight scenes I have choreographed have been decent as well. Is there a karate/judo/aikido/medieval forum somewhere? Maybe a little gunplay thrown in for good measure. LOL

Anyway, thanks for giving me this scene in your fic to write. I hope everyone enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it.

Fantastic update.

I loved the fight scene.

But more than that I loved .... Lois feeling nauseated ...

It was great having you work on that scene! No way could I have gotten it done!

KK it just hit me what you were talking about . They should be quite happy.

The fight scene was pretty spectacular and Lex's concern for Aykira was a great demonstration of his new side. I actually loved the new Lex and his working with rather than against Jor-el. I expect (but don't know) that he will go back to New Krypton but probably no longer under lock and key but a regular contributing member of their society. With his skill, knowledge and cleverness he could contribute quite a lot.

I don't know how you're going to wrap it all up in just one more part! Oh, yes, I've been hoping that flutter was something good rather than bad...that's certainly looking more likely.

Ooh good, feedback!

The fight scene is getting a lot of well-deserved comments! Thanks again KenJ!

Yes, Lois is feeling a little under the weather...

MikeM

Thanks so much for the comment!


A good battle between enemies is one thing, but between potential lovers is another. Anyone out there remember Farscape? When John and Aeryn first met she tried to kill him ... But that's another fandom!

Lex and Aykira also have potential, who knows what those two discussed while she healed on New Krypton?

Lex-Er is not the man Jor-El threw into the blue aperture over a year ago. With Vax-Om's help who knows how far he will go? After all, he's now working on reports for the Om Collective. Still we shall have to wait and see how everything plays out. After all, the First Lord is not the kind of man who would forget that Lex-Er wanted Kal-El dead, so Trey doesn't have to worry just yet about losing his position!

Whew! I practiced a tremendous amount of restraint by not adding more to this story. The next chapter will be spent on Bernie and Abrihet's wedding, plus there will be a wrap up of other plotlines.

Lois' flutter? We shall have to see about that!

Great chapter!

And I want a part of the wedding cake......

Sydney

Oh! I would love a piece as well! The frosting looks rich and delicious, just the sort of cake Bernie and Abrihet would chose.

Now sadly, this Sunday will not be the day of posting the final part. My trip last week to New York City has delayed writing it, so I am really hoping to be done by the end of next week. Not going to post another story again unless said fic is completely written and beta'd!

Until than, thanks to all of you who commented and read. It is much appreciated.

Ooooh! Lucky that!

Anti-Kryptonian installation?

She did?

Maybe he fell from the 100th floor of his office tower and his spinal cord was separated?

Maybe his carotid artery? Also, armor is often not that well protected on the upper thigh, right so she could nick his femoral artery.

Oops? Wouldn’t it be awkward if he got stuck with his head in the hung ceiling?

CLAKR: Really? Another Vixen?

ZOD:

Really, Zod? You’ve never killed an insignificant minion to prove a point? Or have some fun.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if Lois helped Zod to recapture Lex?

It’s called a ‘hostile takeover’?

That’s an unfortunate explanation. I wonder whom Clark will believe, the human madman or the reasonably sane-looking Kryptonian warden.
CLARK: The Kryptionian of course.
LOIS: I never did marry him for his investigative skills.

Kryptonian ones?


LOIS: What? He was moving his lips.

So…



LOIS:
CLARK: Must be Kryptonite.

He…he…he didn’t boast!

Will they kind of pop like a submarine when they get back to their super-gravity world, now that they’re powerless?

Now, that’s going to be fun, Aykira claiming to have been kidnapped by aliens and her office totally wrecked but there is no trace of it. Except for the slight crack in the Shakespeare bust.

Plus, being able to blackmail two superpowered beings into performing covert surveillance of competitors strategy meetings etc might come in handy.

And now for the grand finale?

Michael

I have to apologize for not acknowledging your comments. As always they are spot on funny!

Michael

I recently read this trilogy on the archive and had a lot of fun with it. More fdk later. Just one small detail:
Quote:

Aykira set a tray of four delicate blue and white cups filled with hot strawberry champagne tea and four cannoli filled with mascarpone and sprinkled with bits of chocolate onto the wide coffee colored leather ottoman.
I assume that you want to talk about Abrihet here, cause Aykira isn't there in this scene, or?
I was just confused...

Good catch! Three betas, myself and one General Editor missed this one.

That having been written, thanks for reading and commenting on an old, but much loved story! Waiting to hear your other comments.

So, here's a few comments to the visitor series:
I really liked the premise of the first story. I always enjoy stories showing Clark kryptonian parents or one of them alive. There are oviously not much of them, though. I liked how you used and characterized Jor-El in this story - and how you made him to the better nemesis of Lex, because he is able to open the door Clark would never open. I also believe that Lex hasn't realised that, in some way, Clark/Superman has rescued him again without him knowing - because I believe the only reason Jor-El hasn't killed Lex is that he knows Clark wouldn't be okay with it and he wants to build a positive relationship with his son - So Clark save lex again, ironically. The backstory of BErnie and Abrihet is okay but not to much in the foreground.
Autumn in Paris: A short vignette preparing to the next part. And you inserted Major Zod from Smallville. Interesting idea.
Wedding in Paris: I enjoyed the big Finale, as well as the Lex/Aykira relationship. You portrayed Lex here in a way I've never seen him before of after, a very interesting perspective. Like it#s interesting to see Clark from some "Evil Clark" stories becoming a good guy, it's fascinating to see Lex change - Aykira is also a fascinating character. I also liked the New Kryptonians you have created and i enjoyed them because they are so different then those from the show, which I never really get war with.
The wedding itself of paris wasn't that interesting for me but it was okay and well-written.
I also enjoyed the idea of Kandor as a place for human-kryptonian interaction. I'm sure that has potential, as well as Lex' live on New Krypton, his dealing with Aykira and the possible consequences, eventually things like a nearing of Earth and New Krypton... There are so many possibilities to write more stories there. You should do!

No there are not, mores the pity. It is always fascinating to imagine what these characters would be like in the Lois and Clark universe.


The character of Jor-El evolved. Sadly, he had experienced much; destruction of his homeworld, his son is on another planet being raised by strangers and then he has to deal with a civil war. To top it all off, when his wife dies, the council wanted him to marry someone of their choosing. It would be impossible to remain the gentle, noble scientist presented to him by the globe.


Exactly! As Jor-El had mentioned in the ending, the guards were there to keep him from killing Lex. Lex desperately wanted to know his son and did not want anything to interfere with that reunion, remember, he was ashamed of his warrior ways.


Nope, they were not meant to be in the beginning. It was only later when I started writing Autumn in Paris did I realize an expansion to their love story was inevitable.


Yes, there is a great deal about the City of Lights in that fic, it gave me a chance to revisit it after writing Café Americana.



Sorry, wrong canon. This general was modeled after the one from the Superman II movie, only he is a younger man.


Luthor is always called ‘the bad guy we love to hate’, he has been presented in many forms; most of which are villainous. Because I have a serious crush on John Shea, the actor, my Lex Luthor may be a bad guy, but one who can be turned towards the light. The sword fight scene was written by Ken Janney, who has written a number of excellent stories for this fandom. It is that scene which shows how much living with the gentlefolk of New Krypton have changed him for the better.


Hmmm, I have never been comfortable with “Evil Clark” stories. Aykira was created to bring out the best in Lex. I could not do that with Lois, and Mrs. Cox’s personality was too brittle for her to accomplish that task. So it fell to someone completely outside of canon to work a miracle with Lex. Glad you liked her!


Yeah, we too often see those surrounding the First Lord, but not the regular people on New Krypton. Eyner and her family started Lex’s transformation, who knows where it might end?


Well, I’m glad you appreciated that part of the story. It was a blast to research! Boy, was it an eye-opening experience to see just dissimilar wedding customs in other cultures!


I thought this would work as well. If Jor-El and company made too many visits to Smallville or Metropolis it might raise questions. Thank you so much for reading this fic. Who knows, I have been writing an outline for another story, but right now there are a few others which must come first!
